Kale Pot quiche

Potato-Kale Quiche
This is my husband’s favorite quiche. It’s hearty and filling, yet doesn’t weigh you down. If you don’t have kale, try spinach, chard or other dark green leafy vegetable.

1 recipe Basic Pie Crust (page xxx) or prepared (9- or 10-inch) deep-dish crust, partially prebaked (I made my own)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cups peeled, diced potatoes (about 3 medium)
2 packed cups chopped kale
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups milk (dairy or nondairy)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese (4 ounces)

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Prepare pie crust and place in 9- or 10-inch deep-dish pie pan. Partially prebake crust as directed on page xxx.
Prepare filling while crust is prebaking. Warm oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion. Sauté 5 minutes. Stir in potatoes. Cover and cook 5 minutes. Stir in kale. Cover and cook another 5 minutes. Kale and potatoes should be tender but not overcooked.
Whisk eggs, milk, mustard, sea salt, pepper, and nutmeg until frothy. Place 1/2 of the cheese evenly over bottom of crust. Place potato-kale mixture over cheese. Cover with remaining cheese. Pour egg mixture over vegetables and cheese to fill crust.
Bake at 375ºF for 40 minutes, or until center is set. Cool 10 minutes before cutting.

Spinach and Millet with Lentils
-------------------------------

1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb spinach
1/4 lb mushrooms
2 medium courgettes/zucchini

1/2 cup red lentils
1 cup millet
1 lb peeled tomatoes (a can of chopped tomatoes:-)
1-1/2 tsp salt

sufficient tomato puree to thicken

In a frying pan fry the garlic, onion, paprika and cumin in some water.
Simmer with a lid on for a couple of minutes. Add the mushrooms and the
courgettes and simmer for a few minutes more. Add the shredded spinach,
salt and pepper and simmer till the spinach reduces down.

In a separate pot boil the millet and the lentils till cooked. Millet
usually takes longer than red lentils so wait for five minutes before

adding them. As the millet and lentils absorb the water put in the

Combine the millet and lentil mix with the spinach. Add tomato puree to

Tofu SpinCarBroc

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 pkg. firm silken tofu
2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pkg. frozen brocolli or one bunch fresh
1 lg white onion
2 cloves garlic, pressed or chopped
3 carrots chopped
1/2 bunch spinach
pinches of rosemary, pepper, tumeric, oregano, thyme (to taste)
1/2 jar spaghetti sauce

Directions:

Slice tofu into small bits for easy and quick browning. Heat large non-stick skillet or frying pan with the olive oil to medium heat. Brown tofu in oil, stirring every five minutes or so, until browned a little (about 15 minutes).

While this is browning, chop onions, carrots, and brocolli and spinach. Press the garlic. Add these ingredients and the spices to the tofu and cook 10 minutes (may be necessary to add about a 1/4 cup water). Pour in spaghetti sauce (or stewed tomatoes...sauce is my personal choice) and cook for five more minutes.

Serve alone, over pasta, or with vegan bread for dipping. This is a quick, easy meal in itself!

Serves: 4

Preparation time: about 30 minutes

The Israeli Version for Falafel

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

8 oz chick peas (not canned, please. See note at the end.)
3 Tablespoons Wheatmeal or Cracked wheat or Burguhl.
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoon fresh coriander, chopped as fine as possible.
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Directions:

1. Soak chick peas in water for 8 hours. Drain and grind.

2. Soak Wheatmeal or substitute in water for 2 hours. Drain and grind.

3. Mix all ingredients together.

4. Form balls about 3/4 inch diameter.

5. Deep fry until golden brown (best fried in a net or a deep fryer).

6. Serve in/with vegan pita bread, Hummus, Tahini sauce, tomatoes-cucumbers-parsley-lemon juice salad. Save me some.

Note: It is possible to use canned chick peas. However, it is not as good, and you have to count more weight (because they are pre-cooked, and absorbed water)





Lentil Shepherds Pie

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 can lentils (or equivalent cooked lentils if using dried)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 medium onion, chopped

splash olive oil, margarine, or water (for sautéing onions in)
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Prepare mashed potatoes - make sure that theyre soft enough to be easy enough to spread on top of the filling so be sure to add plenty of water or soymilk to them!

In a large saucepan, sauté onions and garlic until soft. use as much garlic as you wish.. I personally like it with plenty of garlic!

Add lentils, canned tomatoes, as well as dried herbs.. use whichever herbs or combination of herbs as suits you, and as much as suits you. season with salt and pepper.

Spoon mixture into a large casserole dish or lasagna pan. you may omit some of the juices if filling seems too watery. spread a layer of mashed potatoes on top.

Place in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until potato topping is slightly browned.

Serves: 6

Incredible This-will-become-your-favorite Veggie Pot Pie

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 frozen pie shell, or fresh dough if you have time
2-3 cups veggie broth
1-2 potatoes
3 medium carrots
a variety of veggies such as green beans, zuchinni, mushrooms, or just about anything.
1 package frozen spinach
vegan grated or sliced cheddar to cover pan in two layers
lots of good spices: garlic,
cumin, tarragon makes it savory, whatever you like.

Directions:

Thaw pie shell and try real hard to take one 1/2 out of the tin w/o it breaking into a million pieces. If you manage, you are a god(dess). Meanwhile, cook chopped veggies (NOT spinach, just keep it till later). Cook in micro or oven till about 3/4 cooked. To make sauce, heat broth in large kettle, add spices, and lower heat. Add slowly either cornstarch or flour (I use flour), till slightly thickened. You can add dairy free milk and use veggie buillon cubes. Add to this cooked veggies and coat them w/sauce.

Meanwhile, layer 1/2 cheese on bottom of lower crust. Spoon in veggies and sauce, then add spinach on top. add rest of cheese on top of that, and close it up as best as you can w/ the torn top shell. at least mine always tears. bake at 400 for about 45 min, till crust is brown and delicious cheese and juice oozes out.

Serves: 3-4 hungry adults

Preparation time: ?less than 1 hour

Nutrition Information: probably bad for you in some obtuse way just like everything else in life.
